Below is a guide to four key funding pathways that school districts use when bringing DrumBus to their campuses.
Utilizing Beat the Odds®, an evidence-based, trauma-informed curriculum developed by the UCLA Arts & Healing Initiative, our rhythm-centered, group drumming programs align with several state and federal funding streams.
These funds can open the door to arts and music-based enrichment, expanded learning, professional development, and school environments that help students feel safe, supported, connected, engaged, and ready to learn.
